Sandbox User
This feature is currently in beta!
The default system user in all sandboxes is
nt-user
(Next Tech user). However, you can change this to root
if necessary. To do this, click the Stack option on the left sidebar, then scroll down to the Sandbox User section:
Sandbox User setting
Although using the
root
user is an option, you should avoid it if it at all possible for a number of reasons, including:- Users should be given an environment that is as close as possible to the one they will eventually use outside of Next Tech projects. In practice, they will not use
root
as their normal user. - The
nt-user
user can run commands withroot
access at any time by usingsudo
. - Many programs complain if they are run as root.
